First review here, so be gentle - no pics, sorry. :cjump:
Origin : Nicaragua
Format : Robusto
Size : 5 x 50
Wrapper : Ecuador
Filler : Nicaragua
Binder : Nicaragua
Got a couple of singles of this new stick from Port Royal in Solon, OH recently. After a few weeks in the humidor, I took advantage of the tropical 50 degrees here today and headed out to the screened-in porch to light it up.
Construction was great and the Ecuador wrapper looked almost maduro in color, which makes sense when you consider the flavors I got out of it. Burn was razor sharp for the first half and started to wander in the second but didn't require any touch ups.
This smoke reminded me of a cross between a Padron maduro and a spicier Nic stick like a Padilla. Smoking in fairly cool temps with a breeze blowing takes away from the enjoyment for me but this baby really brings some flavor to the party. All in all, about 50 minutes of enjoyment and I will definitely add a box of these in the near future.
